"Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature." — Gerard De Nerval

Soothing Effect: Pink is believed to have a calming effect on the mind and nerves. It can help alleviate feelings of anger, aggression, and neglect.

Stimulating Yet Soft: Unlike the intensity of red, pink's softer tone is stimulating without being overwhelming, promoting a gentle sense of excitement and vitality.

Todays photo was pretty whimsical, but good

Creating a wildflower and garden flower arrangement is a delightful way to bring the beauty of nature into canvas and then i take photographs, just for further reference and my planned projects.

. By combining different types of flowers and foliage, you can craft an arrangement that reflects your personal style and the season’s bounty.

I am Enjoying the process of selecting, arranging, and caring for my flowers, and let the natural beauty brighten the space.

I was enjoying them in a vase before I cut them up, just to see how they look like without the stem.

Enjoy your day ❤

Dewy flowers

 

Flowers that i might will paint someday. 

 Alfred, Lord Tennyson, - The flower

I cast to earth a seed.

Up there came a flower,

The people said, a weed…

Robert Frost (1874–1963).

 Flower-gathering

I LEFT you in the morning,

And in the morning glow,

You walked a way beside me

To make me sad to go.

Do you know me in the gloaming,

Gaunt and dusty grey with roaming?

Are you dumb because you know me not,

Or dumb because you know?

All for me? And not a question

For the faded flowers gay

That could take me from beside you

For the ages of a day?

They are yours, and be the measure

Of their worth for you to treasure,

The measure of the little while

That I’ve been long away.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Marcus Aurelius

Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning.

Samuel Butler

Do things for others and you'll find your self-consciousness evaporating like morning dew.

Dale Carnegie

I wish I new the name of them all....

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

Earl Nightingale

2,59 km is done today, just a wee morning walk picking some dewy flowers, and taking photo of some pretty wet flowers.  The rain last night have left the morning smell so nice, so fresh. Wonderful.  I am grateful for this day! ❤

Bouquet of summer flowers

 

I love this photo as a reference for my art. 

This evening it started to rain, we have had weeks with warm summer

 weather with temperature over 20 degree celsius. I love summer. 

To nice to be inside door. 

 I picked a flower bouguet on my morning walk. 

Wonderful and colorful. 

“If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.” — Claudia Adrienne Grandi

I love this poem I found in my aunties journal.

Flower poem 

“Gorgeous flowerets in the sunlight shining,

Blossoms flaunting in the eye of day,

Tremulous leaves, with soft and silver lining,

Buds that open only to decay.”

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

White Rosehips symbolize purity & innocence, new beginnings & hope

White Rosehips Symbolism:

Purity and Innocence: The white color of these rosehips can symbolize purity and innocence, similar to white roses.

New Beginnings: They can also represent new beginnings and hope.

Nutritional Value: Like other rosehips, white rosehips are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and antioxidants.

Culinary Uses: Rosehips can be used to make jams, jellies, teas, and syrups. They have a tart flavor that is often enhanced with sweeteners.

Medicinal Uses: Rosehips have been used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory properties and potential benefits in boosting the immune system.

Cosmetic Uses: Rosehip oil, derived from the seeds, is popular in skincare for its moisturizing and anti-aging properties.

"There is a quiet magic in white rosehips, a testament to the elegance that thrives in simplicity."

"In the quiet elegance of white rosehips, nature whispers the secrets of purity and grace."

"White rosehips stand as nature’s testament that even in the midst of endings, there is the beauty of new beginnings."

Practice:

Before starting on the final piece, practice painting rosehips and leaves on scrap paper to get a feel for the colors and techniques.

Layering

: Watercolor painting is all about layering. Start light and build up the colors gradually.

Blending:

Keep your edges soft by blending colors while they are still wet. Use a clean, damp brush to soften any harsh lines.

Patience:

Allow each layer to dry before adding the next to avoid unwanted mixing and muddy colors.

By following these steps and taking your time, you'll be able to create a beautiful watercolor painting of white rosehips that captures their delicate beauty and natural elegance.

Wish you a creative fun day ❤
